    So i came out of work today, and my right rear tire was totally flat. so i grabbed a jack from my work, cause the dude who owned the car before me must have lost it somehow. anyway changed the tire and put the donut on (in the pouring rain ) and started driving down the road and after like 2 minutes the car kinda bogged down for a second and then the abs ligt and the tcs light came on. I dont know if the computer figured out that i put the donut on and for whatever reason turned the tcs and abs off, or if the abs sensor is screwed up. any help/insight is appreciated

    That just happened to me, I ran over a f*cking bolt on the highway in the pouring rain. Changed my tire with the spare and the same lights came on. I ended up needing new tires anyway and I was thinking about it earlier that same day......The only bolt in the whole friggin road and I had to run over it...that's just my luck.
    I did keep the bolt since now it's worth $700.00
    The lights went out after I got new tires so yours should go out too once you put a real tire on.
